Hypovirulence of Sclerotium rolfsii Caused by Associated RNA Mycovirus [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Mycoviruses associated with hypovirulence are potential biological control agents and could be useful to study the pathogenesis of fungal host pathogens. Sclerotium rolfsii, a pathogenic fungus, causes southern blight in a wide variety of crops. In this study, we isolated a series of dsRNAs from a debilitated S.

Double-stranded RNA mycovirus infection of Aspergillus fumigatus is not dependent on the genetic make-up of the host. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Aspergillus fumigatus is a fungus that causes opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients, with high morbidity and mortality. In its turn, A. fumigatus can become infected with mycoviruses.

Residual Effects Caused by a Past Mycovirus Infection in Fusarium circinatum [PDF]
Forests, 2020 Mycoviruses are known to be difficult to cure in fungi but their spontaneous loss occurs commonly. The unexpected disappearance of mycoviruses can be explained by diverse reasons, from methodological procedures to biological events such as posttranscriptional silencing machinery. The long-term effects of a virus infection on the host organism have been

Codivergence of mycoviruses with their hosts.
PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundThe associations between pathogens and their hosts are complex and can result from any combination of evolutionary events such as codivergence, switching, and duplication of the pathogen.

Characterization of a Novel Mycovirus from the Phytopathogenic Fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea [PDF]
Viruses, 2022 Botryosphaeria dothidea is, globally, one of the most economically important phytopathogenic fungi worldwide, causing the canker and dieback of fruit trees. An increasing number of viruses infecting B. dothidea have lately been reported, several of which could confer hypovirulence. In this study, isolated from strain ZM170285-1 of B.
